Why this is better

2 issues fixed: Cites 'UFI Global Exhibition Barometer, 32nd edition' for 2025 commentary, but the real UFI Barometer editions published in 2025 are numbered 34 and 35, not 32. | AUMA has no publication titled 'AUMA Trade Fair Industry Report'; its actual named publications are 'AUMA-Trends' and the 'AUMA Exhibitor Outlook' survey. Presenting this as a specific named report title with a subtitle is an unverified citation.
